Kylie Jenner's Former Chef Says Workload Led to Miscarriage in Lawsuit

Kylie Jenner Sued by Former Housekeeper for Alleged Discrimination

The former employee said that she had dealt with "passive-aggressive remarks" and "condescending treatment" during her pregnancy. 

In a December 2024 instance, she alleged that she was told to "lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance," which she said led to a medical emergency. She said she became "dizzy, began choking and gasping for air," before receiving assistance from security personnel. 

The chef said she hit her breaking point in February 2025, then five months pregnant, while working a birthday party for one of Jenner's kids—both of whom were born that month—without "adequate support."

"Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event," the filing read. "That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload."

The former employee alleged that she woke up hemorrhaging the next day after experiencing extreme fatigue as "a result of the prolonged and intense workload." When she went to the emergency room, according to the court documents, she was told "that there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her unborn child."

The suit claimed that the chef alerted her supervisors of the miscarriage and in the following days, was "falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray" after the birthday party.

According to the docs, the former employee accused her supervisor of reprimanding her for suffering severe depression and emotional distress following the miscarriage. She alleged her superior said, "Stop it, just stop it. You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed."

She accused Jenner, 28, of being aware that she was pregnant, had suffered a miscarriage, required medical leave and intended to return to work after.

"Despite such knowledge," the filing read, "Defendants failed to provide the former employee adequate support, accommodation, protection from harassment, or meaningful assistance" following her "pregnancy complications, miscarriage, and return from leave."

The former employee is requesting an unspecified amount of damages, back pay, lost wages, lost earnings, lost employment benefits, attorneys' costs and fees, as well as a jury trial.

Amid the widespread news of the filing, the employee's attorney Della Shaker said that the chef "never wanted to be in the spotlight."

"She simply wanted to be treated fairly," Shaker shared in a June 26 statement to E! News. "She hopes that by sharing her story, others facing similar struggles will know they are not alone—she is choosing courage over silence and hopes her story inspires others to stand up for their rights."
